Do you ever miss your childhood?
All those summer days and carefree afternoons of riding bikes and chewing bubble gum
Old washed out jeans and worn-in sneakers, walking everywhere and riding your bike
even further?
What about those purple-pink sunsets that signaled the days end right by the gas station, 3 blocks from your house?
The trees on your street, the stairs to your house, the next door neighbors dog?
Do you miss them very much?
Cold lemonade and pockets full of change and the nighttime sounds
of a thousand crickets talking to each other, you can almost hear the sound
No music needed, the symphony is played for free in your local hometown
That very first kiss, the days you missed at school and stayed home sick
but you really missed your friends
and you still miss them now
Skating rinks, skateboard wheels and playing tag until you fall on the ground
Late night calls and bouncing off the walls, to find something to do
Bored and lonely, longing to be free
And now we are and we long to go back and be
a child for one more Summer day
If time would slow down I'd visit that old town and maybe call a friend
so we could walk those streets again
and chase fireflies in the park
watch shooting stars and talk about our kids
maybe we could even bring them around
again
